hey just for fun i wanted to give a up date on a ray i have that was not doing well he had a large indentation on his head. i wrote a thread labeled hole in head. well i don't know what exactly happened,but i was told he probably would not make it and it was a sign of being malnourished. well here is a before an after sorry for the pics.

wow looks good.... what did ya feed it...

any thing and every thing it would eat,but mainly cut up red wigglers (trout worms) like at least for times a day. i don't know what it is but in my experience if you have a week ray with some illness if i cut it's food in really small pieces they are more prone to eat, of coarse this is not a cure all. i have still lost some rays. i had one ray that had gone on a food strike that was like 14"-15" did not eat for fourteen days thought she was a goner was cutting up smelt into 1/4" or so and still refusing food. then i split it in the middle and cut into 1/4" and it started to take food. don't know if that truly helps, but thats what i try to do now with any week or new ray.

Perhaps rays just like human ? Soup is easyer to eat when sick.
Good looking ray you got there .
